Jan's Village Pizza of Westfield, IN


Because good taste matters.  For mass/volume, I'd rate their pizza 3cr/2.5ce/3ch.  



Their crust gets a 1/5 rating.  It reminded me a lot of Red Baron's classic crust but less dense.  It was moderately undercooked, dry, and biscuity.  The lack of chewiness did make it easy to eat, like a comfort food or a food you want to rapidly stuff at a buffet.  



Their sauce gets a 3/5.  Pretty good.  The flavor reminded me of ShowBiz Pizza, the counterpart to Chuck E. Cheese.  

Overall quality gets a 2/5.  The cheese had no chew.  I understand, not everyone who goes into the pizza business cares about detail the way I do.  Pizza is pizza and pizza is good, after all.  Perhaps in Westfield, Jan's Pizza is the place to go.  They've got a buffet, which was closed.  While typically I go for a fresh pie, maybe their pizza is best when it's been sitting under a heat lamp for a little while.  



Style gets a 3/5.  While the pizza was completely unremarkable, I liked how the place had an old fashioned cash register (not used, just for show).  On an antique serving hutch, they put some posters for new breweries.  Not the kind of thing you'd see at grandma's house.  Checkered tables, classic chairs, pizza holders, fake brick, amateur local art.  They have an uninstalled drinking fountain by the front door and it's full of starlight mints.  There's nothing pretentious or non-awesome about this place.
